Doulagivers is proud to sponsor a Death Cafe at the St Agnes Library. The Death Cafe will be held monthly for two-hour periods and are free of charge. A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session. “Death Cafes are a wonderful way for people to come together and discuss death in a safe and respected space. I have found personally that many people not only want to share their feelings regarding death, but are ready to learn all they can so that they can make empowered, informed choices for their own lives.” –Suzanne B. O’Brien RN

Doulagivers Discussion on Death and Dying is a FREE monthly seminar series to support and educate communities on end of life. They consist of an opening question, group discussion, segment of teaching, and Q&A session. Everyone deserves the right to achieve the most positive end of life experience possible. Exploring end of life topics will assist individuals in making empowered, informed choices for their own lives.

This seminar series is presented by My Last Gift® and lead by Doulagivers® Trainer Dawn M. Whelan, Certified End-of-Life Doula. For additional information please contact Dawn M Whelan: (860) 392-9540 or dwhelan@mylastgift.com

Make yourself a tea or coffee, grab a snack, and sign in to join us for this virtual Death Café. It is requested that all participants come with an open mind and respect all points of view; as we all share the same journey into life, and death. This forum is created with the intent of encouraging the exploration of ideas and concepts so that we feel more empowered when approaching our own end of life journey. There is plenty of space (since we are online) so reserve a space for you, your friends, and your family.

The webinar platform is sponsored by My Last Gift and Doulagivers of New England
